What is the Eagle Gallery?
The Eagle Gallery is run by a co-operative of local artists. We provide an informal, accessible and
friendly space to display the original art works produced by our members.
With eleven exhibitions each year, interspersed with up to eight solo or small group shows, the work
on display at the gallery changes frequently. We show a wide range of 2D and 3D work. This includes
ceramics, glass, jewellery, sculpture, printmaking, metalwork, textiles, collage and photography, as
well as paintings and drawings in oils, watercolours, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, and other media.
Members of the gallery take turns to serve in the gallery, so visitors are offered the opportunity to
meet someone who can talk knowledgeably about the artwork on show.
Originally located in Castle Road Bedford, the Eagle Gallery moved to its current location at 20 St
Peter’s Street in 2020. We are still next door to Eagle Bookshop whose owner Peter Budek initially
proposed to a group of local artists that a gallery be set up. He has continued to offer support over
the years.
